Ramla Ali 'Working with Meghan Markle changed my life'
I first learned about the Rage on the Red Sea boxing match between heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Olexandr Usyk in around February 2022. That's when myself and my husband, and manager, Richard had the idea to campaign my promoters and the Saudi Arabian organizers to allow me to compete there, and help create positive change.
A women's fight headlining in Saudi Arabia is always the goal, but I feel that without the support of more female fans the opportunity won't exist. Boxing is still a business and those investing the money into a show need to see a return. Only when the demand exists for a female headline fight will that happen.Ramla Ali talks to media ahead of the Rage on the Red Sea Press Conference at Shangri-La Hotel on August 17, 2022 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
I also connected with local women by running one of my Sisters Club sessions on August 18, in partnership with the Saudi Boxing Federation. Sisters Club is a not-for-profit organization I founded in January 2018. It provides free weekly boxing classes to hundreds of women in four locations across London.
